Hi all ...

Because Kenworth K 100 will still spray-painted a uniform color which has a semi Wilson and the weather is still bad, so I started to (re) building a model that I swapped with my friend.

It is a Kenworth W 925 companies from AMT / ERTL kits and is from 1971! Just an old American classic. This model was of about 85% under construction, so the more work now on it will ... Everywhere there are lots of glue, and also separating planes, because the form was much exceeded. First up was the "hydroxide" bath. It's for me "new" because I have always consisted of a completely new models from the box.

Attach some photos of the original condition and I will gradually add photos after reconstruction. The model will be in the original colors of the original Watkins Motor Lines, and will have the original trailer in the colors Watkins. Adjustments will be few, I will focus mainly on the restoration and the overall cleanliness of the truly historic and beautiful piece for me ...

That' s all ...

Tony

Parts are coming up well with a little effort...Ken..

Yes, but there's still much to do.
But it will be worth the effort anyway!

LG Björn

Hi guys.

Yes, it's still a long way, but I managed to get something for this truck. It's the original trailer, and I am very happy!





Tony

Hello Tony!

Congratulations! So you've got the decals, too?

LG Björn

Hello Björn.

Thanks. Of course, decals were included ...



Tony

These will look good together...Ken..

Hi everyone.

Lately I have not had much time, but little progress here.I decided to do the front wheels steerable.I copied the system from Revell.

























That's all ...

Hello Tony!

Looks good! Very clean appearance and smooth surfaces. This seems to work much better than the fuzzy stuff I'm struggling with on my Kenny - lots of glue and still not working well...

LG Björn

Hello Björn!

Thank's for your comment. These old kits are really hard to build. A man is sometimes as a sculptor!

Little progress. The mask looked like a toy, so I modified it a bit. Here is the result after four hours of work!











That's all ...

Tony

Chapeau!

This grille is world class! Will you use some wire mesh?
You're right, this is one a sculpture! Did you use a file?

LG Björn

Thanks ... I used a modeling knife, file and sandpaper ... And yes, there will be a wire mesh.

Tony

That is one fine job, you are very gifted...Ken..

Hello.

Sorry, I had other obligations than those models ... Today, little progress. I hope that in coming weeks will be much more to see ...



















Tony

Really neat...Ken..

Hi Tony
